Preseason Open Game Thread #2: Bulls at Indiana Pacers

Blogabull_s_tiny by your friendly BullsBlogger on Comment 309 comments

No local TV or radio tonight from Ft. Wayne, IN. Rumor has it you can catch it on DirecTV or Dish Network through league pass. And there's always those seedy streaming sites on the internets. I refuse to advocate going to these places, but if you find a way there on your own I cannot stop you. As Mike North would say "I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin".

For all Indiana Pacer stuff, go to Indy Cornrows, a fantastic blog that deserves at least the amount readership my crappy blogging does, if not more.

I'd have to guess that anybody who was out for the Bulls on Thursday is also out tonight. I'm itching to see Gordon play with Rose. Beyond that all I'll ask from tonight is for my mind to be put to ease regarding the defense. The Pacers only scored 71 points in their preseason opener (though that was without Dunleavy and Murphy).

Gooden is out?!

Could this mean even MORE Tyrus?

God we're thin up front.

With the exception of Gray, that is.

Wonder if a Hughes for Raef Lafrentz deal makes any sense. Two disgustingly bad contracts, and it clears up space in the backcourt for us, and space in the frontcourt for Portland…

Asked what kind of player he expects to be in the next five years, he said: "Not a star, but like, a superstar. Something around, like, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, something like that."

Raef is already out for the season

Would they give us Nicolas Batum?

fingers crossed

THey won’t.

The only thing seedier than those internet sites

is the way companies like DirectTV and Time Warner Cable have made basketball prohibitively expensive to watch. They’re pretty despicable; and if their shortsightedness results in new ways to watch, that’s what I call a comeuppance!

As a DishTV customer,

I can tell you it is not possible to purchase NBA LP at the moment. Don’t know if they will wait until the real games start before making it available, but that’s what it looks like.

i'm pretty sure

directtv has a monopoly on preseason games on lp, because afaik you can’t get them on cable, either.

at least that was the case last season.

The game is on channel 673

FSIN on DirecTV. If you get a sports package that has the FSN channels check those stations. It the Indy announcers but better than no basketball.

drive right, back his man down, spin move and jumper – very smooth and under control.

Got the ball just inside the three-point line.

dribbled between the legs as a set up, took a dribble towards the lane/FT line, spun, got bodied up about 13 ft away, nearly swishing a basket

Someone send Pax a postcard with the information, through a time machine, to 3 months ago. I’m getting angrier by the day that the franchise has anointed these two while Gordon got the squeeze.

In 26 minutes Tyrus line is

13 pts, 9 reb, 2 blk, 1st on 5/14 fg, 3/4 fts. Pretty good. He is earning him some playing time with his activity.

he's playing very evenly.

no lulls or anything. he’s engaged you can tell.

The announcers don't know Tyrus very well

They keep saying that he can’t shoot…when that is what he has been working on…

Larry Hughes with the worst shot I've ever seen!

3 second left, contested, he just jacks up a three. The man is incapable of passing. If he played for anybody else, it would be hilarious.

Where's Rose?

It bother’s me that they haven’t played him more. So what if he has 4 fouls?? Fouling out is irrelevant, and Hinrich is getting too much burn at the point right now.

out there was doing well. I’m sure VDN is still looking to see who plays well together.

Not if it was scrubs.

He’s probably looking at the individual sucks to see who he should keep on the practice squad.

::sigh::

I know. I’m more of the glass half full type so I’m hoping today was their turning point. Shonn Greene is just ass kicking awesome.

by sue369 on Oct 11, 2008 5:31 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He is. And the o-line is amazing.

It sucks. The offense will probably all come together next year, just in time for the defense to lose some key players. Luckily, that’s looking okay, too. Did you know Shonn greene is already 23? hah!

by tyger1147 on Oct 11, 2008 5:35 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yes I knew that.

Wonder if he will be back next year? If he leaves it’s kind of looking like Jewel Hampton can step in and take his place.

Uch scrub time.

Tyrus was a force. Derrick was good in LIMITED minutes. Gray…doughy.

Waiting for Elton Brown.

Washington looks as dough-y as Gray. Maybe it’s the washout from low res?

by marionette on Oct 10, 2008 8:09 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

what were your thoughts

on Brown? I didn’t get to see him play and am curious if all the positive talk on him is true. Do you think he can he play credible defense and rebound and get us a few points in the paint for 10 mins a night? I’m really hoping he beats out Michael Ruffin for the end of the bench.

Look at it this way

If dude ain’t happy about not starting, he’s got to be royally pissed to be playing scrub/rookie 4th quarter minutes in a preseason game….

he took some bad shots

no doubt. but he was still effective. shot selection will come with more pt I have no doubt. also, he took a couple of those shots trying to make something happen when no one else was.

don't forget that Gordon, Gooden and Noah were out.

If Deng and Rose weren’t going to be offensive leaders, I’m glad he tried to be.

I just don’t understand why the scrub have to play – Hughes included

Please Pax, don't trade Hughes! Just make sure that he stays injured until... 2010!!!

the Hughes PT either unless they are showcasing him.

We don't need that

The only thing that we need is Hughes to get hurt, to stay on the bench or on the stands all season long. Nothing more…

agreed

i thought for the most part, everyone played under more control. They played better in the halfcourt, rotated better, and played better on D. I hope for our next game we have our full team out there.
